West Valley City Fire and South Salt Lake Fire departments battled a blaze in a vacant home, near 3000 s and 3000 w early Thursday morning. The call came in at about 9:00 AM and when crews arrived the home was fully engulfed on the second story and large volumes of smoke could be seen in the Salt Lake Valley. It took crews about 30 minutes to get a solid knock down on the fire and crews worked through a process called overhaul to extinguish the remaining hot spots. Great work from the crews protected nearby homes from becoming involved in the blaze. Believe it or not this was a single alarm fire. Investigators were able to determine where the fire started but the cause of the fire was undetermined

02/12/2017 West Valley City Firefighters battled a blaze at the Aspenwood apartments Sunday morning. When the fire department arrived smoke and flames were visible from the roof and second story. Crews worked quickly to contain the fire. An offensive strategy was used to attack the fire. Crews worked from the front and rear of the building to stop the fires progress. After the fire was contained and the bulk of the fire was knocked down crews went to the roof to work on the attic which sustained most of the damage. A trench cut was utilized to access an area where they were able to continue to work in coordination with other crews on scene to extinguish any remaining hot spots. Investigators were called to determine the cause of the fire. Before firefighters left they blanketed the area with a foam solution to aide in cooling and extinguishing anything that might be suspect to smolder.
